Session and Session Token Timeout-Related Parameters

You control the session timeout length and session token timeout length and maximum age by setting the parameters listed in the following table. These parameters are set in the eai application section of the AI profile.

Parameter Name	Parameter Value	Description
SessionTimeout	Number in seconds	The total number of seconds a session can remain inactive before the user is logged out and the session is closed. The default value is 900 seconds (15 minutes).
GuestSessionTimeout	Number in seconds	The total number of seconds a guest session can remain inactive before the guest is logged out and the session is closed. The default value is 300 seconds (5 minutes).
SessionTokenTimeout	Number in seconds	The Siebel Application Interface (AI) rejects the session token if the token is inactive for more than the SessionTokenTimeout value. Whenever the token is used, this value is refreshed. You typically set SessionTokenTimeout to the same length of time as the global parameter SessionTimeout, whose default is 900 seconds (15 minutes). The default value is 900 seconds (15 minutes).
SessionTokenMaxAge	Number in minutes	The SessionTokenMaxAge parameter will make the AI reject the token if it has been used for more than the SessionTokenMaxAge value (for example, 240 minutes, or 4 hours). This is different from the SessionTokenTimeout because it does not refresh every time the token is used. The default value is 2880 minutes (two days).

Note: If you set the value of SessionTokenTimeout longer than the value of SessionTimeout and send a Web service request after the session times out, then a relogin occurs and the request is executed.
